"Dialed" into the Mac Studio wirelessly across the room for some IRCing on old hardware, here as the snow falls. ❄️

I had to modify the plist and shell config scripts I'd setup on the Mac since "upgrading" to macOS 26 Tahoe to get this working without gripes in the terminal.

@Vivaldi, while setting up a family members computer, thanks for making the simple act of making bookmarks open in a new tab possible (because apparently both the multi billion dollar entities #Google and #Apple can’t fathom this being an option). I love you

About 50% of the way through migrating everything to new hosts. I'm looking at a full hardware replacement and that's not something I can afford at the moment.

That means for now and until I can get the funds, my #selfhosting has come to an end. It'll be back one day though. #computers #networking #insosec

Quick and dirty! Here's all the stuff I can think of...
